The INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MODELING FOR CYBERSECURITY
The International Workshop on Modeling for Cybersecurity (Semantic Shields) is an event focusing on theoretical aspects and practical applications of conceptual models and ontologies to cybersecurity.
Semantic Shields has been part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) and co-located with the International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS), the flagship conference of the International Association of Ontology and its Applications (IAOA).
Goals
- Promote expert discussions around ontologies, conceptual models, and knowledge graphs applied to the cybersecurity domain.
- Strengthen this community by bringing together people interested in these topics, both from academia and industry.
- Communicate state-of-the-art theories and technologies related to those topics.
Topics of Interest
The workshop topics include but are not limited to:
- Novel conceptual models or ontologies of cybersecurity or its subtopics (networks, cloud security, phishing attacks, legal issues, etc.)
- Novel knowledge graphs (RDF, OWL, or other semantic technologies) of cybersecurity domains or for cybersecurity purposes (say, risk assessment).
- Systematic literature reviews that identify gaps concerning the applications of conceptual models or ontologies for cybersecurity purposes.
- Showcase applications and use cases of new or existing cybersecurity ontologies or conceptual models.
- Early works are welcome as well as the presentation of mature published works.
